    Ever since January 2017 and the last fire sale I've had a nagging feeling that supporting the reds is completely futile.

    Any decent player and they're sold straight away. Even when we make money it doesn't get spent - remember that 20 million?

    I just sent someone a text and the last sentence was: "I'm hopping mad. What's the point?"

    It's such a huge part of my life. I've met so many fantastic people and I seriously doubt I can give it up. I wish I could. I might try after this season.

    I've been thinking that way virtually every season since 1967.

    Yes, I did, when we sold that guy to Wolves who's name I can't remember but I know he's in trouble for getting money off pro football players on some kind of scam. And I did when we sold Conor, but I kind of understood it.
    Selling Brad Potts, does not even register.
    Not even on the scale.

    Same. January 13, January 17.

    A fair chunk of my love for the club went in January 17, I hated going for a long time, it’s gradually built back up. Today just feels like what’s the point all over again

    That's him. But the fact I can't remember his name is nothing to do with my age (well, maybe a bit), but to do with the fact that we always move on.

    If you want to see who's going just look at the team sheet on Saturday and work out who's missing!

    Not an over reaction. They do it all the time. Just waiting for next 4 or 5 and bring brown williams and adebayo into team.

    Agreed. Haven't cried like I did when they sold Higgy. It was hard to take when your only 27 years old

    It’s like Bradshaw all over again though isn’t it? Doing a good job for us in L1, now those fans looking forward to seeing their “record signing” and going to be disappointed. If we find another Woodrow though I’ll be more than happy!

    The problem would be that if we did, he’d probably be out for ‘two weeks’ until about April.
